Movie Reviews Only

You may call the latest movie a blatant attempt to boost sales of the building toy, and you'd be right ... But that would be less of a problem if there were more than mere commercial aspirations up on the screen.&dash; National Post - EDIT

Brad's Status may resonate with some mid-life viewers, particularly those who find themselves looking at a version of Stiller's clenched-jaw, angst-ridden face in the mirror.&dash; National Post - EDIT

The film doesn't sugarcoat the culture, but Blue knows there's an appeal there as well - it offers friendship, art and a playful sense of community, but also violence and the constant threat of substance abuse.&dash; National Post - EDIT

This is the director's first feature in which he is also the sole writer. The result is a movie in love with itself. Whether you share in that passion is an open question, and one mother! almost doesn't seem to care how you answer.&dash; National Post - EDIT

Thus grumpified, I was less than forgiving when the film introduces a parody of a movie producer only to have one of the characters shake his head and say: "He was a parody of a movie producer."&dash; National Post - EDIT

The Black Prince is a beautifully photographed film and an interesting historical tale from the murky depths of mid-19th century British colonialism, but it's a bloodless tale, bereft of passion or pathos.&dash; National Post - EDIT

It's nice to see that Gore continues to fight the good fight. And that, even as Earth continues to set one annual temperature record after another, the tide may be starting to turn.&dash; National Post - EDIT

Katherine is played by Florence Pugh, another almost-newcomer, with a few slight credits to her name. But you'll be seeing more of her, no doubt, such a force is she in Lady Macbeth.&dash; National Post - EDIT

Each setting features its own editing rhythm, characters and score... Far from being a Memento-like puzzle to piece together, Dunkirk is a series of tense standoffs whose resolutions all funnel into the same prerequisite; get the soldiers home.&dash; National Post - EDIT

The Women's Balcony isn't a great film, but it is an appealing and good-natured farce that the Toronto fest deemed "rebellious and respectful." And how often can you get both those things in one movie? L'chaim!&dash; National Post - EDIT

There has been sporadic talk of continuing the Apes franchise, but to avoid a repetition of history, it might be best to stop it with this one. You don't monkey around with perfection.&dash; National Post - EDIT

In an age when women are taking back the genres, The Beguiled makes for an interesting addition to the cinematic conversation. Rather than a radical gender-switch of characters, it's an old story with a new point of view.&dash; National Post - EDIT

Ultimately, Okja operates on too fantastical a level to function as a call to arms against the factory farm system, and its hot-and-cold tone may scald younger viewers while leaving older ones feeling cold. Consume at your own risk.&dash; National Post - EDIT

All Eyez could have been a much more powerful portrait of the artist who died far too young a man -- Tupac's own Straight Outta Compton, if you will -- if only it trusted viewers enough to give us the whole person.&dash; National Post - EDIT

Pixar's animated films remain at their best when the company gives free reign to creativity. Just because actual cars come off a conveyor belt doesn't mean movies about them should feel like they do, too.&dash; National Post - EDIT
